Pros
You are not forced to work here if you don't want to
Kontras
The company pretends to consider employee wellbeing a top priority. In reality, this is far from the truth. Meetings on wellness and days off cannot mask the toxic environment brewing here. Employees often have to work on their "Someday", and interns have even been forced to work on these days without being compensated for the extra hours! It disgusts me how a company can be so pompous and self-righteous when it comes to employee wellbeing, and yet simultaneously be so negligent. Furthermore, senior management is completely out of touch. Often, coworkers will complain about the direction the company is being taken in, but are too afraid to voice these concerns. The CEO is overbearing and micromanages employees to a ridiculous extent, despite not having any real technical experience himself. I'd recommend any potential applicant stay far away from this company. While on the surface, it may seem to be a great opportunity, this could not be further from the reality of working at Polar.
